Despite the nail-biting numbers, Blank warned there's "no erosion in Ken Paxton support by the Republican base" and noted it would be "premature to draw drastic conclusions for November."

The ad featured Texas Republicans like Greg Abbott and John Cornyn speaking to each other in a fake text message conversation about ways to dissociate themselves with the indicted incumbent attorney general.

Nelson isn't the only Texas Democrat finding some success in challenging a Republican incumbent.
